I have this too common problem right now of not being to obtain a nice domain name. Who would of thought that advercity.com, advercity.net, and advercity.org would all be registered by people hoping to make a crazy amount of money off of this? Rather than save up for this, I am going to have to go for a lower class domain for now.

Which one of these domains do you like best for a site called "AdverCity"?

Of the domains you post advercity.biz is probably the one I'd pick. However, if it was me I would try to come up with a new site name. If you promote the AdverCity name and it becomes well known, there will always be people typing AdverCity.com into their browser when looking for your site. That's traffic that you will lose. Would you be prepared to come up with a name for your site, that would allow you to get the dot com?

Because "The" And "Welcome" words are non Professional, or that type of words can be use in personal related, but in my own opinoin , "Adver" word is non Complete, i always preffer Full Word , Like "Advertisment" ,

If you can think up a different brand name that allows you to register the .com then it's better to do so. If you do grow a real business out of this, it's more than likely you'll have to end up paying an inflated price for the .com in the end (more so than it's worth now).

Out of the domains, I would go for one of those two out of personal preference. If it were me, I would buy the .info (as it's cheapest) then save up to buy advercity.com or .net once you make sure you're not going to ditch the site after a month.

I would suggest you to rather choose a different name than Advercity. As Fergal noted, you might lose traffic if you try to gamble on that name - especially when those who first registered using that domain had already established their brand using the name.

The best solution you can come up with is to think of a new business name option.
